[Zope] Help with a simple DMS

2006-02-07 Thread Joshua Gilbert 
Hi.

I'd like to make a simple DMS, users upload their
PDFs/docs/ps/whatever and then they can search within the documents.

I need to be able to automate the submission of documents as I'm part
of a large research lab, we've accumulated a lot of papers over the
years.

Other than that I'd like a nice, simple authentication scheme. That's
about it. Dead simple.

Please help.

I've got an instance of Zope running, with Plone. The plethora of
tools is bewildering to me and I don't know what to use.

I am a Python programmer (three years now I think) but I'd like to
minimize the amount of code I have to write. Simplicity and ease of
use are my watchwords.

If Zope doesn't provide what I'm looking for, can you suggest anything else?

Thank you.
Josh.

 I believe TextIndexNG will index contents of complex file types.

OK, that's great. Where do I find documentation to tell me how to set
up the site?

 What exactly does automate the submission of documents mean?

I mean that I have a great deal of papers. I can't go through web
forms to add all of these documents. I would like to be able to submit
them through an automated process, I can't go through web forms by
hand to add them all.

I'm trying to convince my lab that this is a useful product. If I ask
them to submit their papers one at a time I'll lose the argument and
we won't use Zope.

 Then stick with how it's already set up. Plone provides a nice UI for
 user management.


Fair enough.
